‘I was a man who saw death in the face due to obesity and associated diseases. And then I happened to meet a friend’s brother who had undergone bariatric surgery. The changes in him as a result really astonished me. I was against beauty enhancing by artificial means. On studying about this surgery through the internet, I could learn one thing: that bariatric surgery is not a cosmetic one. Instead it is a life-saving one. Thus I too underwent this surgery at Moulana Hospital. I don’t have any difficulty after the surgery. And I am very happy too.’
